Seminar Abstract
October 2, 2002:
"Computer Simulations for Predicting Protein-Protein
and Protein-DNA Interactions"
Professor Kathryn Thomasson
Department of Chemistry
University of North Dakota
The method of Brownian dynamics will be described as a useful tool for
studying the interactions between large macromolecules of biological
importance. Applications include: (1) Interactions of the genome
regulatory protein 434 Cro repressor with DNA and (2) Interactions of
the glycolytic enzymes aldolase, GAPDH, and triose phosphate isomerase
with the cytoskeletal structure F-actin.
